Career Advice #2: Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

Earlier today I was tasked with a  pretty big project. I have a bit of a routine whenever I have a lot of work to do -  I check facebook, listen to music, and in general try to forget the mountain of work I have ahead of me. You have to be careful with how you approach projects; its kind of like jenga, one wrong pull and you could be crushed by the mound. I like to listen to oldies sometimes (a throwback to when I’d play poker 10 hours a day in the bayou listening to an 80’s radio station) to get focused, and that song “Ain’t no mountain high, ain’t no valley lowww” came on, and I started to get inspired to be amazing. I remembered the titans and their example, so that I too could make a contribution for the greater good of humanity. I had thoughts of finishing the project in baller time and being given a fat promotion and kudos all around. I was pumped man. And in remembering the titans I also remembered the Greeks that invented them, and more importantly the Roman’s who took credit for everything the Greeks did. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it should only take a day to find your Greek.
